Hi All. This is my first post here, and I'm probably not going to put many posts up, as I'm here trying to find some very specific information. I was a design engineer at Dowty Fuel Systems, working on kit for aircraft from Buccaneers up to the Eurofighter. I'm looking for the names of Tornado pilots who flew at air shows. Who is my best contact on this 'site who might be able to help please?

Good evening to all,
My name is Claudio and I'm an Italian aviation enthusiast.
Quite often I travel abroad... Expecially in UK because my country isn't spotter friendly like many others...
Now at my 40s, after years as photojournalist specialized on defence, I'm an employed but I would build my blog just for fun...
Nice to be here and look forward spotting again.
Yours
Claudio

Morning All,

I've been lurking for quite some time but finally decided to take the plunge and register.

I try to get to Leeming or Coningsby as often as I can, but as with all things work likes to get in the way.

With RIAT around the corner i thought it would be a good time to join!

Hello everyone,
Thanks for inviting me to this great forum.
Lovely to be amongst fellow military aviation enthusiasts.
The name is John,I reside in Caerphilly.South Wales.age 61.
i've been into Aviation since we used to visit my aunt and uncle in Farnborough.my first visit was the late 1960.s...I was hooked from day one when just as we arrived we had a Hunter joining the circuit at the base..... Lucky enough to get taken in to a few airshows at Farnborough from late 60s-mid 70s...Awesome is an overused word but it truly reflected the amazing amount of Military Aircraft that you could see in the skies back then!
That started a life long love of aviation (Military more than commercial) Joined the Air Cadets for a while but sadly didn't embark on a career in the RAF....i just wasn't bright enough to be aircrew unfortunately.....I don't go to many airshows,now but still love to listen to them on the scanner when they're out and about....i always try to get to the Mach loop when we're on holiday byt not as often as i'd like....been going there for 15+ years now......I must get down to the SWAG museum in St,Athen too as i when i did a basic electronics course a back in 1990-91 i worked on (polishing and cleaning...not electrical work may i add!) some of the aircraft we had in the then St museum....happy days indeed!
Regards
John
